NEUROPTIMAL® Training supports many kinds of treatments
The training program is applied in Cancer Treatment, Alzheimers Desease, ADS, Sleep Disorders and more as an addition to medical treatments
NeurOptimal® has a worldwide presence with an estimated 1.2 million hours of cumulative training time. Hundreds of trainers have used NeurOptimal® over thousands of hours of direct client experience demonstrating that most clients can expect significant improvement of 60% or better.
You may find more information on the different applications of NeurOptimal® in a variety of treatments and therapies.
Cancer Therapy
This study examined the efficacy of EEG biofeedback (neurofeedback) in addressing the cognitive squeal of cancer therapy, commonly known as “chemobrain” or “chemofog.” Approximately fifty percent of breast cancer survivors exhibit cognitive impairment within three weeks of beginning chemotherapy, and half of those have not recovered one year later. Neurofeedback, unlike compensatory strategies currently recommended by the National Cancer Institute and major cancer centers, has the potential to restore cognitive function.

The Effects of EEG Neurofeedback and Neuro-Cognitive Processing in the
Educational Environment of an Arts-Based Private Elementary/Middle School
By Lise’ DeAndre’ DeLong
The purpose of this study was to ascertain measurable differences in academic outcomes among two groups of learners within a creative arts curriculum that employed a self-directed, stress-reduced, and individualized curriculum. One group was provided with EEG neurofeedback and neuro-cognitive coaching for stress reduction, while the other was not. This study measured the rate of improvement in academic progress that a learner can achieve when formalized learning takes place in a stress-reduced arts-based learning environment with EEG neurofeedback and neurocognitive coaching.
Natural Sleep Rhythms: From Cells to Behavior
How NeurOptimal® potentially interfaces with, and restores, natural sleep rhythms. New evidence mapping cellular networks underlying the brain’s circadian timing nucleus has provided a potential locus of control for the human circadian rhythm (HCR). This network provides a biologically plausible regulatory site for external influence of the HCR-notably pharmacologic agents, environmental influence, and particularly salient to this presentation, NeurOptimal®.
